And to get educated to obtain this fortune. So, when Pip goes to London, he gets education and he becomes somewhat of a student. And he starts to build this life for himself where he’s going to become smart, wealthy individual.

Joe does come to visit pip and pip is kind of disgusted. Because Joe is not as classy as him and pip wants to be around classy people. Which is kind of sad because when pip was down and didn’t have any parents and he didn’t have any family members. Joe was the one who takes care of him along with Pip’s sister. They take care of him and to be treated Pip like their own child. And as soon as Pip got into power or into a place where he’s wealthy, He’s looking down on people as if they’re not classy enough and they’re not sophisticated enough.

In London, Pip does go to the Miss Havisham to see her and while he’s there he does declare his affection for Estella. But Estella rejects him which really hurts Pip. After this declaration is done, his full scene is done and Pip did declare his love and all this kind of stuff. He does go back and visit Miss Havisham for one time more and after done talking, Miss Havisham say sorry for what she did to Pip. Because she is very cold woman and she made Estella to be very cold individual as well towards men. Miss Havisham, the reason why she’s wearing a wedding dress. It’s because she was stood up at her own wedding so since that day she’s promised to make men pay for what she feels.

So, Estella is a very attractive woman. She has rejected many men with power and with money. So, Pip does go to see her and have the last conversation. After this conversation, Miss Havisham does apologize to Pip. After the conversation, her wedding dress catches on the fire because she was very close to a fire display and her wedding Dress catches on fire. And she dies after that, he goes back towards London and he finds out Miss Havisham was not his benefactor, in fact, it was the convict. That he gave food to at start of novel.

So basically, after this takes place, Pip figures out that the convict is not even supposed to be in London not back into country to prove to the pip that he was the only one giving him the money all this time. And when they tried to smuggle the conflict out of London, they find the officials find out and they bring him to justice. Where the convict died because he was a very old man and he wasn’t.

Analysis of Great Expectations:

If we come to discuss the analysis part, if you look at the title “Great Expectations” you know it’s very deceiving. Because the pip does not become this great rich individual. I think one thing we all need to see when we look at the analysis part of this novel is that sometimes people believe that they are entitled to things and we need to have stuff or we are entitled to riches of the world. After inviting to house of Miss Havisham, Pip automatically believes that old Miss Havisham’s going to make me into something important. And yes! okay, I am going to marry a pretty girl who doesn’t work like that.

Many people have this idea that the world is gonna give them riches and the world is going to make them famous or successful. But for most people that is not the case. Many people don’t step out of the trenches and become rich. Most people stay in the trenches all of their lives. Not saying that some don’t become great or have great opportunities in their lives. But if you want to be realistic, most people do not become millionaires or rich or in the upper class and their lifetimes. They usually just work their entire lives and then fade away.

Pip had this idea that I am above everything. Joe & his sister even though it has been probably had a pretty much happy life together. Pip didn’t want that he didn’t want Biddy at first. When Biddy did have some kind of affection towards him, he wanted to be rich. He wanted to have the riches of life. There’s nothing wrong with that but when you step on the people who take care of you when you were nothing, it just looks bad.

So, this novel is very good in a way that we’ve to stop thinking that we’re entitled to things. And we should be benefactors of the riches of the world, it’s not like that. If we want something, yes! we can fight for it. Maybe through school or through hardships of the life. But if we think that everything is going to be given on to us it’s a lie that you believe in. If you really think that the world is going to be handed to you.

And that’s what happened to pip because even though after everything went bad for him. He said okay! let me go back to Biddy. She liked me at first maybe I can get married to her and have a happy ending. But that’s not true, just because Estella rejected that doesn’t mean Biddy was waiting there for you. Life doesn’t revolve around one person. And I get that feeling that pip believed that the world of all revolved around him and the decisions that he made. For everything that he decided to do blew up in his face.
